The general insurance industry came together on Tuesday night to celebrate the high achievers of the last 12 months at the Insurance Times awards 2014.

In a year of intense competition following a record number of entries, it was the UK General Group that walked away with the award for ‘MGA of the year’ at a glittering awards ceremony at Battersea Evolution in London.

Coming 12 months after the triumph of the Group’s agricultural specialists, Rural Insurance, in the ‘Brand Campaign of the Year’ category, the judges attributed this latest award success to UK General Insurance Group’s ongoing focus on being a customer-centric business.

With the Managing General Agents’ Association (MGAA) recently announcing its membership rising to over 100 members, we’re delighted that UK General is leading the way at a time of intense competition and growth in the MGA market.

Peter Hubbard, Group CEO, commented “Having come so close to winning in previous years makes it all the more significant that we’ve now been awarded this accolade – and shows the business continues to make significant progress. The fact that the judges picked out our customer focus is enormously pleasing as it shows the hard work being put into this area, each and every day, is bearing fruit.”
